What is 'the science'? If you're not in agreement with 'the science', you're simply wrong. Why can't those mavericks that you find in almost every every discipline understand this and learn to accept &#x27

I live in Romania. You can have whatever test you want if they can do it. Mostly they can at least in our central area. No doctor's note needed.
